'Garden party' music festival taking place in one of Dublin's best kept secrets

One of County Dublin's best kept secrets, The Seamus Ennis Arts Centre in Naul, is gearing up to host a number of entertaining shows this summer from live music to comedy.

The Garden Party, a series of outdoor summer concerts to be held under the shelter of the venue's purposely designed stretch tent, kicks off on May 27 and will see events taking place right up until August 20.

Starting with The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow, acts that are set to delight audiences at the centre include Bell X1, David O'Doherty, The Lost Brothers, Paul Brady, Atlantic Arc and many more.

The Garden Party will provide locals with the opportunity to experience a diverse range of intimate shows during the summer months, with live music, gas comedy and film all on the roster.

Fans of soul and blues are in for a treat as The Rob Strong Band will be hosting a night of live music and dancing on Saturday, July 9.

Meanwhile, Neil Delamere will be taking to the stage on Friday, June 10 with his new stand-up show Liminal. He will bring some very special guests with him on the night.

Deirdre Roche, Director of The Seamus Ennis Arts Centre said of the upcoming festival: "As our communities emerge from the isolation of the past two years there has never been such a hunger for the return of live music events.

"This year’s line-up is a gathering of some of Ireland’s much loved musical legends, in a totally unique and intimate setting. The venue will provide a complete night out for ticket holders, with live music, food offerings and a full bar on site. We look forward to welcoming audiences."

The Seamus Ennis Centre in Naul village is located 11 minutes from Balbriggan and is accessible by bus and taxi.

From Dublin City Centre, attendees can take the Drogheda or Dundalk train service to Balbriggan.

Tickets for The Garden Party are on sale now at tseac.ie.
